Flat Bed Ford - from the Eagles song "Take it Easy" ??

The last time I was in Winslow (about five or six months ago), I saw a real flat-bed Ford at the spot.

Cool idea for a model.  

When I listened to that song, I always pictured a 50's F-100 with a home made wood flatbed in place of the pickup bed.

You see a lot of pickups like that in rural areas, where the original pickup beds rusted out. (of course being from the East Coast, I never stopped to consider that rust might not be a problem in Arizona)

AMT/Ertl, if memory serves, had a 1/24 Ford Stake-bed kit that might suit your needs.

The stake bed would be big enough--barely--for that Bel-Air.

Although, what this probably needs is to find a flatbed kit of some kind and a F-100 kits, and bash the two together.

cool. thx for that  now to find if it was ever kitted. hopefully there is a kit big enough so I can have the truck hauling a '56 Bel-Air. (the car my daughter wants when her ship comes in)
